SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Public Comment Procedures 

A. How do I comment on submitted 

applications? 

We invite the public and local, State, 

Tribal, and Federal agencies to comment 

on this application. Before issuing the 

requested permit, we will take into 

consideration any information that we 

receive during the public comment 

period. 

You may submit your comments and 

materials by one of the methods in 

ADDRESSES. We will not consider 

comments sent by email or to an address 

not in ADDRESSES. We will not consider 

or include in our administrative record 

comments we receive after the close of 

the comment period (see DATES). 

When submitting comments, please 

specify the name of the applicant and 

the permit number at the beginning of 

your comment. Provide sufficient 

information to allow us to authenticate 

any scientific or commercial data you 

include. The comments and 

recommendations that will be most 

useful and likely to influence agency 

decisions are: (1) Those supported by 

quantitative information or studies; and 

(2) those that include citations to, and 

analyses of, the applicable laws and 

regulations. 

B. May I review comments submitted by 

others? 

You may view and comment on 

others’ public comments at https://

www.regulations.gov unless our 

allowing so would violate the Privacy 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) or Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). 

C. Who will see my comments? 

If you submit a comment at https:// 

www.regulations.gov, your entire 

comment, including any personal 

identifying information, will be posted 

on the website. If you submit a 

hardcopy comment that includes 

personal identifying information, such 

as your address, phone number, or 

email address, you may request at the 

top of your document that we withhold 

this information from public review. 

However, we cannot guarantee that we 

will be able to do so. Moreover, all 

submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, will be 

made available for public disclosure in 

their entirety. 

II. Background 

To help us carry out our conservation 

responsibilities for affected species, and 

in consideration of section 10(c) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

we invite public comments on permit 

applications before final action is taken. 

With some exceptions, the ESA 

prohibits certain activities with listed 

species unless Federal authorization is 

issued that allows such activities. 

Permits issued under section 10(a)(1)(A) 

of the ESA allow otherwise prohibited 

activities for scientific purposes or to 

enhance the propagation or survival of 

the affected species. Service regulations 

regarding prohibited activities with 

endangered species, captive-bred 

wildlife registrations, and permits for 

any activity otherwise prohibited by the 

ESA with respect to any endangered 

species are available in title 50 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations in part 17. 

III. Permit Application 

We invite comments on the following 

application. 

Applicant: Colossal Biosciences, Inc., 

Austin, TX; Permit No. PER5525559 

The applicant requests authorization 

to import biological specimens from 

captive-born animals of all species 

listed under the ESA originating from 

various foreign facilities, for the purpose 

of scientific research. This notification 

covers activities to be conducted by the 

applicant over a 5-year period. 

IV. Next Steps 

After the comment period closes, we 

will make decisions regarding permit 

issuance. If we issue permits to the 

applicant listed in this notice, we will 

publish a notice in the Federal Register. 

You may locate the notice announcing 

the permit issuance by searching 

https://www.regulations.gov for the 

permit number listed above in this 

document. For example, to find 

information about the potential issuance 

of Permit No. 12345A, you would go to 

regulations.gov and search for 

‘‘12345A’’. 

V. Authority 

We issue this notice under the 

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.), and its implementing regulations.

Abstract: Section 4 of the 

Archeological Resources Protection Act

1906 (54 U.S.C. 320302), authorize any 

individual or institution to apply to 

Federal land managing agencies to 

scientifically excavate or remove 

archeological resources from public or

any archeological investigation by nonNPS personnel occurring on parklands, 

regardless of whether or not these 

investigations are linked to regulatory 

compliance. Archeological 

investigations that require permits 

include excavation, shovel-testing, 

coring, pedestrian survey (with and 

without removal of artifacts), 

underwater archeology, 

photogrammetry, and rock art 

documentation. Individuals, academic 

and scientific institutions, museums, 

and businesses that propose to conduct 

archeological field investigations on 

parklands must first obtain a permit 

before the project may begin. To apply

authorities to undertake the activity 

on State or tribal lands that are

Activities 

Persons receiving a permit must also 

use DI Form 1926a to submit 

preliminary, annual, and final reports.
